Summer in Iowa--this is why we moved home! I'm not sure we could cram much more in this summer than all of the swim lessons, downtown Iowa City festivals, county fairs, and hanging out with family that we've been doing. It couldn't be more perfect. Not only are we having lots of fun, we are really making progress on our house. Little by little, it's starting to feel like home. We were lucky enough to buy a house that didn't need any major improvements. Instead, we have been doing lots of little projects--adding ceiling fans, buying curtains, new bedspreads, updating picture frames, and lots and lots of yardwork! The to-do list will never be done, but we've (mostly) tried to balance fun and work as the summer has gone on. Highlights below:
Coralville 4th of July parade at Nike's Uncle Joe's house
Golfing with Grandpa Steve and Jeff at Saddleback
Our view from the kitchen sink where we feed these kiddos every day
Our curly-haired cutie
Spending the night in Grandpa Steve's bed when the highway was flooded and couldn't get home
Lydia coloring--her favorite activity right now. This tub of crayons is permanently scattered on the playroom floor because we have gotten too lazy to pick them up several times a day.
Uncle Jimmy enjoying some corn on the cob while home from Los Angeles
Jack's souvenir from Jeff's trip to Washington, D.C.--an astronaut suit!
Enjoying the pool with Teagan
Johnson County fair
I can't believe how curly Lydia's hair has gotten! And Jack looks so tall! Miss you guys!!
